[Verse 1]
Oh that I would go through storms
Know my soul is better for it
Oh my heart to face the pain
My mind, it'd move past yesterday

[Chorus]
No, I just want to be a better man
No, I just want to be a better man
As I go

[Verse 2]
All my life that I would grow
Like a flower that comes up from a seed that's sown
The spirit now to rise within
Reign over my carnal skin

[Chorus]
No, I just want to be a better man
No, I just want to be a better man
As I go

[Chorus]
And oh I just want to be a better man
And oh I just want to be a better man, yeah
And oh I just want to be a better man
And oh I just want to be a better man
As I go
[Verse 3]
Oh my hands to serve and love
My eyes to see and not to judge
My spirit now to rise within
And reign over my carnal skin
